Post subject:  How to configure GT.M on OpenVMS/Alpha 8.3 - Part 2 - Instal
First, you will need to download a copy of GT.M for OpenVMS from the GT.M SourceForge page. The file you need will be named something like GTM_Vxxxxx_OPENVMS_ALPHA_PRO.ZIP, where "xxxxx" is the version number.

Once you have downloaded the ZIP file, you will need to upload it to a directory on one of your Alpha's storage devices (if you did not download the ZIP file directly onto your Alpha). I used FTP to transfer the file to a subdirectory of my home directory.

In order to extract the contents of this file, you will need to create a definition for UNZIP, as it is a foreign command. Example syntax for this definition follows; please replace DKA100: and JOLLIS.PRIVEXE with the device name and directory path where UNZIP.EXE;1 resides on your system (it is DKA100:[JOLLIS.PRIVEXE]UNZIP.EXE;1 on my system):

Code:
$ UNZIP :== $DKA100:[JOLLIS.PRIVEXE]UNZIP


Now that you have a usable UNZIP utility, extract the archive as follows, replacing DKA100:[JOLLIS.GTMINST] and Vxxxxx with the appropriate file specification for your system:

Code:
$ SET DEFAULT DKA100:[JOLLIS.GTMINST]
$ UNZIP GTM_Vxxxxx_OPENVMS_ALPHA_PRO.ZIP


Now, you will need to elevate your privileges (unless you are logged in as SYSTEM), and run the VMSINSTAL utility to install GT.M, replacing "xxxxx" with the appropriate version number for your GT.M download:

Code:
$ SET PROC/PRIV=ALL
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL GTMxxxxx DKA100:[JOLLIS.GTMINST]


This will invoke the OpenVMS Software Product Installation facility. Follow the prompts and accept the defaults for this procedure.

GT.M is now installed on your system, as has created the logical GTM$DIST, where GT.M stores much of its information.

In the next segment, we will create a global directory using the GT.M GDE (Global Directory Editor) utility.
